Item 8.01   Other Events

On February 22, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the decision of the lower court, the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, in the action entitled Sparta Commercial Services Inc. v. DZ Bank AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main, New York.

 

The lower court decision had resulted in an order dismissing the claims of both parties.  The Cross-Appeal filed by DZ Bank seeking attorney's fees from Sparta in excess of $2 million was also denied in its entirety.

Sparta is reviewing its options regarding further proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Court of Appeals' decision is a final adjudication of all claims, or that there will be no further determinations of liability sought by either party in this matter.
